Somehow I ended up understanding or feeling for Han-su? All this pressure from his dad and everything he dropped to fulfill his dad’s goal for him, only for him to suddenly change things up. Doesn’t change the fact that he grew to become selfish and singleminded that he “wants Han-na to have 0’, that it’s seemingly all he wants, and he’s such a petty brat, but yeah that little outburst spoke volumes.
I have to constantly remind myself that they're just acting, Choi's underling is so annoying especially when he looks all so pleased with himself... making him a very effective actor. lol
Man, I'm trying to get past the first season and it is so hard. I don't think I've laughed once in the last few episodes.
Holy shit, the moment the reactor went out? chef's kiss I got goosebumps!
What a satisfying ending
Also, that was like 3 Black Mirror episodes in 1, holy sh
So the killer’s gotta be Cara, right?
Tatum progressively getting more into it the more Leighton made fun of her was so funny. (And holy crap, how is the twincest phase thing freakishly accurate yet it's the first time I've heard of it lmao; p.s. I looked it up and it's not the actual term thank god, but still lol)
And oh, Bela... Bela, Bela, Bela...
I'm guessing barista guy's the monster?
Here's to hoping that double shantay doesn't bite us in the ass when 2 better queens face off in the next episode.
Also, I did not laugh once during that skit. I found it more laughable that you could hear the judges laughing.
I thought this was fun in a way this show hasn’t been for me in a looong time.
(I also thought it was going swimmingly well until they brought Owen back, and at almost the last minute too like a surprise. Was I supossed to be pleased?)
This show came out of nowhere and I am loving every second of it.
That Twinner alliance is Rolaskatox all over again :(
I was NOT expecting that surprise comeback. I literally GASPED
AND SARA WTF YOU CAN'T TRUST THAWNE (update after watching the next episode: ... I stand corrected)
From what I can tell, Bishop was popular among some of the fans during airing... but I cannot stand him, especially when he's perky and sht, he was so annoying (Kayla's "That gyrating bastard" in the next episode is such a good way to describe him lmao). Him evil monologuing's seems a tad better though, I doubt we'll get it often though.
I'm here for Spooner's episode, that was pretty good.
"Suntok ng demonyo." I can't believe John made the Tagalog translation of "demon's punch" sound magical lol
Wow.. Happy Father's Day, Reggie. Dad of the year.
Me channeling Elsa at the whole Luther and Sloane thing: "You can't marry a man you just met!"
Honestly though, someone calling out Viktor's part in both apocalypses was overdue. I get that a lot of outside forces were responsible (and in a way, his family and their constant dismissal is a factor), but it's his powers (and ultimately decisions) that lead to the world-ending stuff. The confrontation with Alison was painful to watch though (although tbf I did think she forgave Viktor pretty quickly for... slashing her throat back in S1). Five did it well.
There's way too much happening.
Aaaand they actually went to the Allison-Luther(-Sloane) storyline I'd been dreading. I was pretty pleased that it looked like it wasn't gonna happen, spoke too soon I guess. "You're blowing me off for some knockoff you've known for five minutes?" is definitely worse than how I imagined it would be addressed, if at all. I guess it's just part of showing her spiral, but still. Uck.
"Oh girl, we don't ask those questions." - Basically the tagline when watching this show. (Usually don't mind. I've embraced this part of LoT. I just really did not enjoy this episode at all.)
Second group was so good! And Viv's Dolly lip sync was perf!
Are we keeping both Zaris??! :heart_eyes::fingers_crossed:
... there was an imposter among them.
This episode (especially the forcefield scene) was so silly I love it lmao
Based on comments here, it seems like new Zari wasn't very popular during airing, but I am quite enjoying her (and how well Tala is playing her, I've kind of forgotten how old Zari was if not for the occasional flashbacks), but the idea of getting, and even just seeing, old Zari back has me so excited.
Also definitely pleasantly surprised that I liked Behrad so much (surprised because I thought I wouldn't considering he "replaced" Zari but it feels so well done that I didn't mind), in a way I sadly didn't like Charlie as much as I wanted to last season (it felt like she was just there most of the time; I loved Maisie as Amaya and was excited to get her back, and with her getting to use her Brit accent, but she just wasn't explored enough to get too attached to her - guess they were saving the character building for this season).
So, obviously, I GASPED the minute B looked at the blade, knowing how that would end. JFC. Also, loved Charlie cutting off her sister's hand lmao
This All Stars rule thing definitely needs some revision, or at least casting does. There are those seasons where you go, "It's anyone's game at this point, any of them could be Top 3/4," and it'll hurt to see the eliminated queen go but it's alright in the long run. This season is the exact opposite with the clear Top 2 gone.
It's especially sad to me that these particular set of queens are the ones that chose to "play" when they're the ones not actually competing for prize money lol, whereas we've seen other US All Stars queens choose 'fairly' despite this lowering their chances at the prize.
Also, 2 consecutive episodes now that the queens' choices have legitimately surprised me. From Janey and Jimbo's conversation, I thought for sure she would have picked Jimbo. Meanwhile, I didn't think Pangina would pick Jimbo last ep, and same with this one, I was literally rooting for Blu because the way she spoke to the girls made me actually think she was gonna save Pangina.
Side-note: Blu definitely killed it in the episode though. Snatch Game, the runway, and Pangina fans XD
YES, definitely my top three! :hearts:
Re: boomerang trick arrow: "You'd have to dodge." Oh, Kate.
Why can't I take happy Vera Farmiga seriously?
Nat is such a crucial part of Clint and the show despite everything. And I am all for it. The talk about Clint's "best shot"/the one he didn't take had me tearing up. It also took me a while to realize that that pause Clint had when reaching down for Kate was a call out to their Endgame scene, but when I did, god damn it.
Yelena's BW moves, oh yeah! Wish it didn't end there. I wanted her to beat their asses lol. I do like that Yelena zipped Kate up before dropping her off the side of the building (that was homicidally sweet of her) because she was there just for Clint.
I'd really like for Clint to at least know of Yelena, like when she finally tells him why she's after him, that she's doing it for her sister, he'll know and just go "Yelena?" or something. She's supposed to be one of the most important people to Nat, next to her found fam Avengers, and since Clint's her bff and she knew about his family, it would make sense that he would know about hers. Since there was never really any allusion to Yelena before the BW movie, I feel like we need this for some continuity.
Ooh, is Jan the killer?
This is my third attempt at this show because I need something to fill the void that discovering POI has left in me. It's been so long since my most recent attempt at the first season so of course I have to start over. Hopefully I finish it this time? If not, maybe it's time to accept I really won't like this show as much as I'd... like to.
I don't think I fully appreciated the first time around just how well this show managed to (eventually) integrate Root into the team and how they were able to redeem and develop her character convincingly; I was too busy just enjoying her popping up whenever she did. From psycho kidnapper to core part of the group. * cries *
But dang, if they'd gotten the chip then... would've saved them a whole lot of trouble (and us 2 seasons of Samaritan lol).
